The Chiyoda was not made in Japan, but was produced by the British, purchased by Japan, and the Japanese military top brass did not want to buy it at first, they bought another cruiser of French production...... The cruiser Miao Pong had been built and sailed for Japan, but after leaving the transit point of Singapore, the cruiser was not heard from and mysteriously disappeared.

In this era when there was no radio communication, not a single qiē encountered by the ship during the voyage was known to outsiders, so no one knows what happened to the cruiser Miaopang.

Some speculate that the Qing army sank it in the South China Sea, these people are conspiracy theorists in Japan, some speculate that the cruiser encountered a typhoon during its voyage, and most surprisingly, some say that the cruiser was eaten by a giant sea monster, which is understandable given the biology of this era.

After the disappearance of the cruiser www.uuxs.cc, Japan received 1.25 million yen in compensation from the insurance company, and Japan used the compensation to buy the Chiyoda, which was put into service.

Lin Fei was happy when he learned that there was only one warship escorting the Japanese transport fleet, and he picked up the microphone and said to Bi Fang: "Please report the location of the Japanese fleet immediately." ”

Bi Fang immediately reported the location, Lin Fei asked the navigator next to him to mark the position of the Japanese fleet on the chart, Lin Fei immediately ordered the Tianlong ship to approach the Japanese fleet, and then ordered Bi Fang: "Report the formation of the Japanese fleet immediately." ”

Bi Fang reported: "The Japanese fleet was in a zigzag shape from south to north, and the Chiyoda ship was at the forefront of the entire zigzag queue. ”

Lin Fei thought for a moment and said: "Let's knock out the Chiyoda ship first, and if we defeat the Chiyoda ship, the entire fleet will become meat on the board, and order your ship to immediately move closer to the Tianlong ship and form a two-ship formation with the Tianlong ship." ”

Bi Fang replied loudly: "Yes, my subordinates understand. Bi Fang immediately gave the order to turn the rudder, allowing the Cloud Dragon Ship to move closer to the Sky Dragon Ship.

After Lin Fei gave the order to Bi Fang, he picked up the microphone of the Jade Bird machine again and said, "Call the captain of the Pangu ship, please answer if you receive it." ”

The captain of the Pangu ship is named Yuan Bochao, a cadet of the Naval Military Academy, and took his place after the captain of the Pangu ship, Gao Longcheng, was transferred to the captain of the Qianlong ship, Yuan Bochao received Lin Fei's message and immediately replied: "The Pangu ship has been received, please speak." ”

Lin Fei said loudly: "The Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship are about to launch an attack on the Japanese fleet, order the Pangu ship to move in the direction of Penghu, reconnoiter and be on alert, and if other Japanese ships are found, report immediately." ”

"Yes, the Pangu ship understands..."Yuan Bochao replied loudly, and then led the Pangu ship to move in the direction of Penghu.

At 12:20, the Yunlong ship approached the Tianlong ship, formed a two-ship formation, and sailed towards the Japanese fleet.

At 12:45, Ma Chengfeng, the communications chief of the Tianlong ship, reported: "Your Majesty, six pillars of smoke have been found in the sea area east of our ship. ”

Lin Fei's heart was shocked, and he found the smoke column of the enemy ship, indicating that the enemy ship was in front of him, he picked up the microphone and said loudly: "The whole fleet has entered the combat state. ”

At the sound of the order, a sharp battle alarm sounded on the Draco and Yunlong ships, and everyone went into action, the loaders released the shell insurance, the observers stared at the binoculars, and the stokers tightened their grip on the coal shovels......

At the same time, the observer on the Chiyoda ship also spotted the Tenryu and the Cloud Dragon ship, and he immediately ...... to the captain of the Chiyoda ship Uchida Masatoshi Osa reported: "Captain, two warships were found on the west side of our ship, their nationality and model are unknown. ”

The Huaxia Empire did not have its own flag at this time, so the warships of the Huaxia Empire never hoisted the national flag, which gave Lin Fei great benefits, and many times, the enemy did not know who they were facing.

Uchida Masatoshi was a typical Japanese naval officer, strict with himself and loyal to the emperor, and in his heart, nothing was more important than the victory of the Great Japanese Empire, and when he heard the report, he frowned and said, "Could it be a warship of the Qing Kingdom?" ”

The chief of staff on one side, Ishihara Zhengnan Nakasa, said with a smile: "Your Excellency Dazuo is too worried, the Qing Kingdom only has a Beiyang fleet, which has been wiped out by our imperial navy, where is there still a navy?" ”

Uchida Masatoshi nodded slightly, and then said, "Could it be a warship of the Huaxia Empire?" ”

Ishihara Zhengnan shook his head firmly and said: "It will definitely not be a warship of the Huaxia Empire, according to the information sent by the Intelligence Division, the Huaxia Imperial Navy only has an old Spanish warship. ”

Uchida Masatoshi pondered for a moment and said, "The British and the French are both active in this area, maybe their warships, let's ignore them. ”

The Japanese were unaware of the impending blow, but Lin Fei's side made the final preparations, everything was ready, and he was just waiting for the cannon to be fired.

At 13:06, Lin Fei saw a ship appear on the sea antenna, and then, five other ships appeared one after another, and the Japanese ship was in front of him, Lin Fei picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice: "Tianlong ship, Yunlong ship, the enemy ship has entered the visual distance, ready to meet the enemy." ”

Everyone's hearts were hanging, because Lin Fei told them that the Japanese sailors were well-trained, much stronger than the Spanish sailors, everyone's faces showed a look of nervousness and expectation, it turned out that there was hatred on the faces of the sailors of the Zhiyuan ship, because of the poverty and weakness of the Qing State, they were defeated in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, and now under the leadership of Lin Fei, they can finally take revenge.

Lin Fei decided to approach the Chiyoda ship on the side side, because the Dragon-class cruiser had eight guns, one in the bow and one in the stern, and three on each side, and when the enemy was approached on the side side, the Dragon-class cruiser could concentrate the fire of six guns in one direction, and two battleships were twelve guns.

Lin Fei ordered loudly: "Tianlong ship, Yunlong ship, adjust the direction of travel, and use the side to meet the enemy." ”

Liu Daming and Bi Fang replied almost at the same time: "Yes, understood..." Then they gave the rudder order to their respective battleships, and let the two battleships meet the enemy on the side side, Lin Fei was the commander of the fleet at this time, and there was no longer any need to give the rudder command in person like the captain, the two battleships turned and accelerated, split the waves, brought the sea breeze, and approached the Chiyoda ship.

At 13:15, the distance between the Tianlong and Yunlong ships and the Chiyoda ship was shortened to 4,000 meters, and at this time, Lin Fei could see the Japanese Navy flag on the bow of the Chiyoda ship in the telescope, with a blood-red sun in the middle, and sixteen blood-red rays of light around it, which left the deepest scar in the history of the Chinese nation.

At 13:30, the distance was shortened to 3,000 meters, and Lin Fei could already see the hull of the Chiyoda ship clearly in the telescope, this warship was very strangely shaped, with only one chimney, but three masts, and three black craters on the broadside armor in the middle of the hull, which were left in the Battle of the Yellow Sea.

At 13:32, the distance was further approaching, Lin Fei felt that the time was ripe to open fire, and ordered: "Target Chiyoda ship, fire..."

Ordered, on the Tianlong ship, the gun commander Sun Yong roared loudly: "Brothers, the army brothers fought well, now it's our turn to fight the little devils of the dog day, aim at me, beat me hard..."

On the Yunlong ship, the gun commander Lu Jinhong said in a deep voice: "All gun positions are ready to open fire, and the fire control unit will immediately report the aiming advance, observers, and pay attention to the landing point of the shells." ”

The gunners on the two battleships opened the bolts, stuffed the shells and propellants, pressed the firing button, "boom" and "boom" twice, and the two shells whistled and fired at the Chiyoda ship, which was the first shot fired by the Imperial Navy of China against the Japanese Navy...

The shells exploded in front of the Chiyoda, and the two battleships fired high-explosive shells, splashing up a column of water about ten meters high, and the sound of the explosion alarmed the Japanese fleet, and the infantry on the transport ship crowded to the porthole, scrambling to look at the explosion point, and there was a lot of discussion.

The sailors on the Chiyoda ship were even more surprised, they put down what they were doing, looked at the explosion point, and whispered, Uchida Masatoshi sensed that the shell was hitting them, and hurriedly shouted: "All the crew, prepare for battle." ”

The mournful alarm bell sounded throughout the ship, the gunners hurriedly ran to the gun position, the sailors raised the shells in a panic, transported to the gun position, just when the Japanese sailors were about to open fire, the second wave of test firing shells arrived, and the careful Japanese sailors found that the smoke column raised by the shells turned out to be colored, one was red, the other was yellow.

In the naval battle with the Spaniards, Lin Fei's fleet exposed the problem that it was difficult to distinguish shells when two ships attacked a target at the same time, and Lin Fei thought of a way to fill the explosives with colored fumes, but he felt that colored fumes were not easy to make, so he delayed.

When Lin Fei hit Manila, he suddenly realized that traditional Chinese fireworks have various colors, and there is no colored smoke agent in them? So Lin Fei found the craftsman who made the zuò fireworks and used the clay method to make the smoke agent.

The smoke of the Draco ship is red, and the smoke of the Yunlong ship is yellow, so it is easy for the observer to distinguish the shells fired by the two warships.

At 13:40, the four rounds of test firing were completed, and the shells fired by the Tenryu ship finally crossed the Chiyoda ship and formed a straddle fire, and the gunnery commander Sun Yong immediately ordered: "Use the full rate of fire to attack the enemy ship." "The Tenryu took the lead in firing at the Chiyoda with a full rate of fire, and five minutes later, the Yunlong also formed a straddle fire, and also fired at the Chiyoda with a total of twelve 120 mm guns, and at the rate of twelve shells per minute, the two battleships rained down on the Chiyoda.

At this time, the Chiyoda ship was still preparing to open fire, and the gunners were scrambling to calculate the distance, but Lin Fei's choice of attack position was too tricky...... Upwind, all the smoke from the shells was blown onto the Chiyoda, and the gunners couldn't even open their eyes, let alone measure the range.

The most proud equipment of the Japanese warships is rapid-fire guns, and they are also relying on rapid-fire guns to defeat the Beiyang Fleet, but now, their proud rapid-fire guns can't even fire a single shot.
